Letter to reader

...i've known this all along,

you see,

at the start of my writing

I was mostly

who you now are

- a reader.

But the more I write,

the more I have to write

to write it right...

because I

make my writings

public.

What I publish

for all to see

and think about

maybe mention to someone

or use a phrase or a sentence

to build a scene

create a scenario...

...my words do not belong to me

once I have written them down

and allowed them to be read

they belong to you

the reader.

when my words

make pictures in your head

or touch a chord

tug at a memory

make you think

or when they don't

the only way I will know this

is when you tell me.

So it is time...

...to respond

in writing.

It is important to me

to know what your thoughts are

as important as it is

for you to practice your writing

This way we can both

practice this art

of writing

it right.

I await your response.

Helen
